you couldn't that's his point. in his mind its okay that plex cost more now because you can buy less

But Plex don't cost more.If you look for a specific value of plex at which the packages no longer suit sure you can find a situation where you have to spend more. But on the whole the plex price is equivalent to the old price.The structure of where the 'bonus' plex are is different because Bonus are now measured from the 'more expensive' $5 option. Not the $20 500 plex option. But that is a marketing spin visual, not an actual difference.

What's the answer to the question Lugh asked in the OP:

I havent bought plex in a while but i seem to remember the $100 pack being 6 plex its now just over 5 months of plex? is this what happened or did the $100 always give 5

I already told him. They did not have a '$100 for 6 plex' pack. It was a $105 pack for 6 plex. He was mis-remembering the price. That pack no longer exists.

I also told him what he was really upset about was not the price of the plex (as it had stayed the same on a per unit basis at around the same price point), but the fact that they had eliminated the $105 pack, but cray wanna be cray.

That's also compounded with it being more work to sell. A lot of us made our isk buying and selling plex on the market. It being predictable with low volume high value made this a great way to make isk. With low value high volume there is more effort in trading it

More upset that it is more than $4 more to buy 6 plex than it used to be

But only if you buy exactly (or as close to exactly) 6 plex as possible, rather than just stepping up to the next pack size and getting more than 6 plex.It's the same as if you argued that with old plex 7 Plex cost more per plex than 6 because you had to buy a single plex for $20 to add the 7th.

what no that is the cheapest way to do it. is there a cheaper combination???

yes the price per plex has stayed the same but the bulk discounts have been lowered. thus making plex more expensive. if its not at all more expensive thats fine by me i just want to know. i don't buy from CCP but knowing if it has gotten more expensive is important for ppl like me who trade it

Your argument is akin to me saying 'I only wanted 5 plex, but to get 5 plex under the old system cost me $105, so 5 plex cost too much'. Or more accurately the 7 plex method I listed above where per plex it costs more than 6.The cheaper 'Per plex' way is just buy the next larger package.If you mix & match smaller packages to make an exact value then obviously it's going to cost you more than a single big package.

That does not mean that Plex are more expensive on the whole, that means you are attempting to pick a very specific example where if you buy EXACTLY a certain number of plex across several packages it costs more.

So your complaint here is nothing to do with the price per plex, and all to do with CCP not offering a 6 old plex package anymore.

m8 i'm not complaining i don't buy the stuff for real world isk trying to figure things out to help predict market prices.

and overall plex is now either more expensive or the same as it was except on the very high end bulk buys. that was all i needed to know

Under the old system, if I wanted to buy 6 plex using only the smallest packages, it would cost me 120 dollars.

under the new system, to get the same amount of nuplex I would need to buy 28 packages at 5 dollars each, which costs about 140 dollars... sure I'd be getting about 80 or so extra nuplex out of it, but THATS NOT THE POINT!!! clearly ccp is just scamming and trying to steal our money!!!

You can not be serious. You are puling chains, right?

It makes about as much sense as picking and choosing from smaller new options in order to get an exact number rather than just getting the larger combined package.
